I’m really new to the game. I could barely beat the bot on a 13x13. I just need some general advice on how to attack on a 19x19 and how to develop a board.

Thank you for the long read.
Which bot? I had the same experience a few weeks ago with dodge_bot_3.
Fact is it’s difficult to program a (interesting) weak bot

Thanks for the compliment! I’m always glad to hear that those articles can be a useful resource for beginners
@scatteredhelix - if you are going to start reading those 19x19 for Beginners articles, I would recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through them:
Introduction: Making sense of Go
Part 3: Playing a Balanced Opening
Once you’ve read through those, then Part 5 will hopefully make more sense:
FWIW - I’ve been working on the next article (Part 6: Shape) for WAYYY to long, and I need to just hunker down, edit it to something readable, and post it…

Congratulations!
I took a look at some of your games. My advice regarding attacking is: Don’t attack to kill stones, attack to build territory.
That’s a really good question, maybe this video can help you with the development in the early opening:
